This week has been an interesting one. it was a bit busy...i had 2
midterms, but it was fun as well. baseball playoffs have helped keep
things light, though i guess i coulda studied a bit more. oh well. today
is game 3 for both the indians/mariners and the a's/yankees. im watching
espn gamecast for the indians game right now...and if cc sabathia can just
hold on, and settle down, he should be alright. he only gave up one run,
while sele gave up 2--all in the first inning. i think that the indians
definitely have a chance against seattle. their hitters are quite good,
and their pitching CAN be good, though it's usually an adventure out
there. especially with john rocker. yikes. as for the a's, theyre up 2-0
against the yanks, with game 3 today in oakland. im pretty sure it's over.
as good as mike mussina is, barry zito is better...and at home too. i know
this is premature, but it's about time the yankee reign ended. derek jeter
has 4 world series rings in his first 5 full years of major league play.
that's ridiculous. but it's ending. who knows, this may be the start of an
a's dynasty...though i doubt it considering they can't afford to keep
players for more than a few years. also, if jason giambi leaves after this
year, it could be all over. that would be sad. i wish the a's got more fan
support...that would be really great. if they sold out every game, they
coupld prolly afford to keep some guys, and go after high-profile players.
but alas, it's not meant to be. eric chen and some other guys are going to
the a's game today...im so excited for them. im sure it will be a great
time...especially if the a's win. im sure there's nothing like a playoff
atmosphere.
someone i know is looking into buying a car. he makes a decent living, and
can afford a $30,000+ car. so he's thinking about it. the lexus.
the bmw. the acura. OR he can go for a subaru or something cheaper than
$30,000. i think he should, and ive suggested that he do so. i never saw
the big deal with luxury cars. it's just something to drive. i dont think
it really matters if the ride is a little bumpy or a little smooth. if the
pothole is big enough, it will be felt, no matter what the car is. also, i
just dont see the need to buy a car that costs so much. but im not a car
expert. maybe the lexus runs much better than the subaru, and never has
problems, which could save lots of time and money in the long run. or not.
a car is a pretty big investment, no matter what the car is. now, im not
saying that everyone should drive a corolla or anything like that, i mean,
what a person does with their money is their business. but i just think
that other things can be done with that money than just spending it on a
car.
ok. it's 4:50, by the clock in the computer center. the indians just
finished CRUSHING the mariners, 17-2. omar vizquel had 6 rbi's. how
awesome. i guess sabathia did hold up. he had a shaky first inning, but
settled down afterwards. marvelous job. go indians. the mariners are going
DOWN. downtown to chinatown :)
